Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.

I have to say my crosscourt backhand is my favourite shot, it's loaded with topspin, and you should see the looks I get from my pals at my tennis club if they ever have to face it - priceless!

(In fact, there's me on the left hitting one!)

I wish my cross court backhand had more zip. I slice a lot and can keep it low and moving away from the center of the court with sidespin, so that it nice. But it is hard for me to crush the topspin backhand (I use a one hander) so if I get the court opened up I usually just hit a decent shot to the open court and follow it in to the net. I would rather just hit a clean winner.

My forehand's my best shot and i just love the "boom" when I nail the ball on the sweetspot - i love hitting midcourt sitters the most. however I really like to swing out on my one-handed bh. the results arn't as good, but i find it fun for some reason.
